Privileged Mode Programming

[Mikeclark]

Does anyone know of any Wiki's, tutorials or rule-books for writing privileged-mode software routines under ArchLinuxArm?

It really should be the same as with any linux. There is no magic dust that makes us special. We're not Ubuntu, silently *^#%ing with your operating system.

WarheadsSE: you are surely the Clint Eastwood of the Linux world - "You insulted mah repo! Blam!!!". I'm a big fan, but, on this occasion you're being too modest.

As you know, the main attraction of Arch Linux is the elegance of its minimalist approach; the core distro is slim and fast, and can be trimmed even further, if the user so wishes. By the same token, the system can be easily and selectively enhanced, to produce a lean, mean Linux machine -ArchLinuxArm runs like greased lightning on the arm1176 chip, for example. This overall approach is further reinforced by the 'Rolling Release' system update philosophy. But the real difference between you and Uknowho is that they support ARM technologies because they have to; ArchLinuxArm do it because they WANT to.

So, wiyh that in mind, is there any ArchLinuxArm material we (there must be others ouy there with an interest in this) could refer to?

No, I mean seriously, the same tools, guides, etc should work. The base difference being you might need to make use of pkgfile & pacman's rosetta @ the arch wiki.
